I've got 4 females that are growing big and just waiting for a nice male 
I keep them hot (hot spot 96f ... warm end 88f) keep them dry with a light misting every 2-3 days at night.

i have 3 females,cant find a male anywhere 
i keep mine pretty much the same as serpent but have a "little dripper "
on them as and when i think of it.I quite often find them basking under the spot light during the day.They are not to bad temprement wise ,but not one to be handled they are just for looking at, really weird and beautiful they are one of my favourites

So have mine 
I've stopped putting calcium on their crickets for a while because the sac's seemed to be getting bigger by the week

I think 'huge' is an understatement, they look deformed especially the pic on the far right
